I'm drinking 3 years after other reviews. Glad I waited. This is really nice. I drank it last night, so don't remember details, but it really kept my interest.

Consistent with prior reveiws - Strawberry red color with strawberry, cherry, white pepper, spice and a bit of hard candy aromas. On the palate, it's medium-bodied lush strawberry, cherry, spice and mineral flavors. Medium+ finish. 13.1% alcohol. Aged 5 months in older 500 ltr Frech Oak puncheons. $24 SRP

The more I drink Dashe's Les Enfants Terribles wines, the more I feel like I am getting let in on a great secret. You almost have to recalibrate your palate for these wines (a bit like Cobb Pinots), they are so unexpected and out of the ordinary. This wine is so fresh and bright and delicate that it almost seems thin at first blush, but once you sit with it for awhile (and especially breathe in the aromas) a lot more nuance and complexity is revealed. If most Cali Grenaches are Yang, this is much more Yin. Not for aging. Drink young with food.

Good wine, reminds of a spanish style grenache but I think I can get that style for less- Tres Picos.
